About AI Image Extender

The AI Image Extender adds new picture around the edges of a photo, so you can change its shape without cropping anything away. Turn a vertical phone shot into a 16:9 slide or video thumbnail, make a landscape photo fit a 9:16 story, or give a tightly framed product more breathing room. For marketplace main images, AI Product Photo puts the product on white with a margin you set.

Pick the Aspect ratio from 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:3. The AI continues the scene outward, extending sky, walls, floors, grass or backdrops so the new areas blend in. The added parts are invented, not recovered, so check faces, hands and text near the edges. Simple, even backgrounds extend most convincingly.

FAQ

AI Image Extender: questions and answers

How does the AI Image Extender fill the new space?
It generates new picture content that continues the original, such as more sky, floor or background. The AI invents it, so it looks plausible but isn't a real part of the scene.
Which photos work best with the AI Image Extender?
Photos with simple, even surroundings, such as sky, sea, walls, fields or a studio backdrop. Busy scenes, people cut off at the edge or text near the border are harder to continue convincingly.
Which ratio should I pick?
16:9 for slides, video thumbnails and website headers, 9:16 for stories and reels, 1:1 for feed posts, and 4:3 for classic prints and documents. If the result is too small for its new use, the AI Image Upscaler enlarges it 2× or 4×.
Can I expand an image with AI for free?
Signing up for a free account gives you 1 AI task a day, for photos up to 50 MB. VIP plans add monthly AI credits and a 1 GB file limit.
Are my photos kept after extending?
No. Photos come in over HTTPS, are extended in their own isolated process and are cleared automatically after an hour. We don't share them or train AI on them.
